That they don’t speak [of me] is worse, more for a public person … all the life has been this way and I learned to handle and mock myself in the situation intelligently.”

The model, mother and entrepreneur who admittedly is not afraid to laugh at herself also mentioned that her cosmetics line is expanding to Mexico, Argentina, Panama and Venezuela. She also has aspirations to start her own shoe line.

Natalia Paris might be most widely known for her love affair with the Colombian drug trafficker turned US informant, Julio Cesar Correa alias “Julio Fierro,” who disappeared in 2001.

The beauty has started up an acting career with a short roll in the new film “En Coma” directed by Juan David Restrepo.
